I heard you should add coffee grinds to rose bushes in an outside garden; I am interested in the care of cut roses.

Thank you all for your helpful responses. I have some direction now. I just called my local florist and she advised me not to put anything in the water, just cut the stems down and change the water out every few dayst. Again thanks for the input.

An aspirin tablet seems to work fine, I use that if I am out of the additive they sell to preserve cut flowers. Chrismas tree preservative works great also and is far less expensive. I would stay away from sugar water, it'll attract ants and encourge the growth of molds.

Add 1 teaspoon of bleach and 1 teaspoon of sugar. The bleach stops mold and mildew and the sugar will help the flowers survive for a few extra days.

I have heard a birth control pill, you can try it. who knows. go to your local nursery,where you buy plants and stuff. and ask them what is the best additve that would work. good luck.
